We present 5 women with premature ovarian failure (POF) who were treated with different regimes and conceived. Three patients conceived spontaneously while on cyclic estrogen/progestagen replacement therapy. One patient conceived after high-dose gonadotrophin treatment. Embryo transfer with oocytes donated from a third party donor was performed in one patient abroad. Due to legal reasons the heterogeneous oocyte donation for patients with POF cannot be performed in some countries such as Austria. Therefore, many patients who desire pregnancy cannot receive optimal treatment for their condition.
